Personal injury refers to harm suffered by an individual due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. This area of law allows the injured person (the plaintiff) to seek compensation from the responsible party (the defendant) for damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related losses. Personal injury cases can arise from various situations, including car accidents, workplace incidents, slip and falls, defective products, or medical malpractice. At its core, personal injury law is designed to hold the at-fault party accountable and to help the injured individual recover both financially and personally from the impact of the incident.
